Health Canada published a recall warning regarding an anti-aging cream sold at drugstores across Canada. The recall was flagged on December 1, 2023, and involves the Marcelle Anti-Wrinkle cream, which is currently being removed from shelves due to the presence of mould.

Here are the details regarding the affected products:

  • Marcelle 40+ Anti-Wrinkle Cream | 50 ml | UPC 056599633334
  • Marcelle 40+ Anti-Wrinkle Cream | 75 ml | UPC 056599600053
"Following analyses carried out by Groupe Marcelle Inc., the results showed that the affected products do not meet microbial standards due to traces of mould that develop over time," the recall page indicates.
